West End is a Sanford staple, and we are so lucky to have someone like Paul in our City Beautiful. I have not only attended many shows, but our parent company, PM Promotions, has hosted many shows at the West End as well. Great staff, great people! If you have never been to Sanford or the West End, you are missing out on a great City and the best wings in town! Oh, and can we say BEER?
